Course title: Operating Systems II
Credit hours: 3
2.
Current course catalog listing:
A detailed examination of how an operating system sits on a computer architecture. Students will
use the privileged instruction set of a specific architecture to write their own simple operating
systems or operating system modules. The course will cover (at the hardware level) the theory of
bootstrap loading, memory protection and management, timer-based scheduling, operating system
services, implementation of file systems, etc. Projects will include device drivers, schedulers and
other interrupt handlers.

The current description is very old and does not reflect current trends in Operating Systems. The
course content has been evolving for several years to reflect those trends. The new description
more accurately reflects current content of the course.

Current prerequisites: BCOM 271 and BCOM 325, or instructor’s permission
3.
Proposed prerequisites: BCOM 271 or BCOM 325
4.
Rationale for the revision of prerequisites: The existing prerequisites are unnecessarily
restrictive, both to broadcasting majors and to film studies minors. Allowing students to enroll
with either BCOM 271 or 325 makes the course more accessible, while still requiring a student
prerequisite commitment, and retaining a basic cinematic foundation. All necessary elements of
screenwriting, including format, structure and story generation, are covered in class.
5.
Effect on completion of major/minor sequence: Helps minors in film studies to complete the
minor with one less outside requirement (BCOM 325) No effect on the major/minor in
broadcasting.

3.
Proposed prerequisites: BCOM 265 and 266 for majors in Broadcasting; JOUR 261 for majors
in News/Editorial Journalism and Photojournalism.
4.
Rationale for the revision of prerequisites: BCOM 368 requires more than just basic
production skills, It requires a basic understanding of news gathering and writing. Adding BCOM
265 Basic News provides an introduction to the theory and practice of broadcast news writing
styles and includes analyzing and editing news information.
JOUR 261 Intro to Multi Media provides audiovisual story structure and will serve as a
prerequisite for majors in photojournalism and news/editorial journalism.

suggested sequence of coursework published in the broadcasting major four-year plan.

Proposed prerequisites: BCOM 264 for non-majors or BCOM 367 for Broadcast majors
4.
Rationale for the revision of prerequisites: BCOM 264 provides a condensed foundation of
videography and editing for non-majors. Adding BCOM 264 as an alternate pre-requisite opens
access for non-broadcasting majors to film production. Specifically, allowing minors in Film
Studies access to BCOM 376 without requiring three courses of pre-reqs.

Post will become an elective. BCOM 266 and 366 precede BCOM 367 in prerequisite
coursework, under current catalog guidelines they do not need to be listed.

4.
Rationale for the revision of prerequisites: Press Law and Ethics is an upper division,
challenging course that requires critical thinking, research skills and knowledge of the news
media that comes with student maturation within the post-secondary environment and the major.
In many journalism majors, it is the capstone course. Under the current prerequisites, a second
semester freshman could enroll in this class. The “junior standing” prerequisite helps ensure
students will be prepared for and can succeed in this class.

Current course catalog listing: Prerequisite: JOUR 325
A course designed to produce for publication in-depth articles using interviewing, observation

3.
Proposed course catalog listing: Prerequisite: JOUR 325
Designed to produce for publication in-depth news reporting, including reporting on government
affairs, using interviewing, observation and public records research skills coupled with computer
assisted reporting. Capstone course for news/editorial curriculum.
4.
Rationale for revision of the course catalog listing: The proposed revision deletes reference to
“survey research” and “team reporting.” In the journalism field, survey research has been
replaced by public records research. Investigative Reporting with teams will become a special
topics class. The new description also needs to reference reporting on governmental affairs,
which is tied to public record research skills.

Identification of course:
1.1 Current course prefix (subject area) and number: Anth 430
1.2 Course title: Kentucky Archaeology
1.3 Credit hours: 3
2.
Rationale for the course suspension: The course was under-enrolled (fewer than 10
undergraduate students) the last two semesters it was offered (Fall 2004, Fall 2002). Due to other
teaching and administrative responsibilities, the faculty member can no longer fit the course into
her rotation.
3.
Effect of course suspension on programs or other departments, if known: Anthropology
majors (Ref. 608) in the archaeology concentration must take one area studies course, but the
proposed suspension will leave two options (Anth 335 Old World Prehistory, Anth 336 New
World Prehistory). The course is one of over two dozen elective options for anthropology minors
(Ref. 311). The course is one of seven core course options in the Certificate in Kentucky Studies
(Ref. 169).

1.
Identification of course:
1.1 Current course prefix (subject area) and number: 332
1.2 Course title: Photojournalism Technologies
1.3 Credit hours: 3
2.
Rationale for the course deletion: With the integration of the New Media Publishing track into
the Photojournalism track, the total hours for the major rose from 39 to 42. To avoid going
beyond 42, the decision was made to delete JOUR 332 Photojournalism Technologies. The
software taught in this course will be introduced in JOUR 231 Introduction to Photojournalism,
since this course is moving from the traditional darkroom to the digital lab to process images
(similar process, just different tools). The practical photography experience obtained in JOUR
332 will be shared among the other classes, including the two multimedia courses being
integrated into the Photojournalism track.
3.
Effect of course deletion on programs or other departments, if known: Students in the current
Photojournalism program who might be affected by the deletion of JOUR 332 are those taking
JOUR 231 in spring 2008. These students will be accommodated by offering a JOUR 332 section
in fall 2008. Students taking JOUR 231 in fall 2008 will be advised into the new program, so they
will no longer need JOUR 332.

Identification of course:
1.1 Current course prefix (subject area) and number: JOUR 463
1.2 Course title: Projects in New Media
1.3 Credit hours: 3
2.
Rationale for the course deletion: Since the New Media Publishing track within the
Photojournalism major is being integrated into the Photojournalism track to form one track, only
one capstone course will be necessary. JOUR 436 (Advanced Photojournalism, proposed to be
renamed Photojournalism projects) will be the capstone course for the major. It will incorporate
the multimedia tools used in JOUR 463, and combine this with the long-term project content that
both capstone courses currently share.
3.
Effect of course deletion on programs or other departments, if known: Since this is a
capstone course for majors in the Photojournalism new media concentration only, this will not
affect other programs or departments.
4.
Effective Catalog Year: spring 2009
Students currently enrolled in the Photojournalism new media concentration will be allowed to
substitute JOUR 436, Advanced Photojournalism as their capstone course.

Proposal to Reactivate a Course
(Consent Item)
Contact Person: Darlene Applegate, darlene.applegate@wku.edu, 745-5094
1.
Identification of course:
1.1 Current course prefix and number: Anth 340
1.2 Course title: Peoples and Cultures of Latin America
1.3 Credit hours: 3
2.
Rationale for the course reactivation: The course was suspended in 2002 because at that time
anthropology faculty lacked expertise in Latin American peoples and cultures. A current
anthropology faculty member has expertise in this area and is interested in teaching the course,
and the course will add to our current offerings in regional ethnography classes.
3.
Effect of course reactivation on programs or other departments, if known:
The course previously was a restricted elective in the cultural anthropology concentration of the
anthropology major (Ref. 608); anthropology faculty members are proposing to revise the major
to include the course as a restricted elective in the cultural anthropology concentration. The
course previously was an elective in the Latin American Studies minor (Ref. 408) and could
potentially be added to that program.
